First half of run sluggish, with cold, numb feet. I guess they aren't used to 40 degree weather. But my feet and body warmed up by the 2nd half of run, and last mile felt really good, where ... read more

Was going for a broken sub 5 minute mile, but just didn't have it this morning. After 4 30 second intervals, I was at a 5:26 pace, and could barely get under a 5 minute pace for any of my int... read more

I wanted to go longer, but real was short on time this morning, so I tried to make the best of the time I had. A 7:00 pace is getting easier and easier for me to maintain. It still doesn't f... read more

tired Recovery, low energy run 1.43 mi
Still feeling sore from Sunday's sprinting. Wanted to just do an easy, slow run to pump some blood through my legs, but not a great run by any means.

RUN
good Broken sub 5:15 mile 1.06 mi 00:05:32 05:13 pace
Another broken run. Tried to keep the intervals around the 30 second range, but some of them were more like 22 or 23 seconds. It wasn't pure sprinting, but a lot of my running was anaerobic.... read more

good Quick, broken run 0.69 mi 00:04:03 05:52 pace
I'm tweaking my goals somewhat in the short term. I'm going to focus a little more on sprinting and also work my way towards a broken sub 5:00 minute mile by the end of September.

I'm going for short and fast now. Maybe it's my lack of endurance, but I'm really enjoying sprinting a lot right now, and semi-sprinting as well.
Eventually, I'll try to piece these broken chunks back together and aim for longer stretches at a fast pace.

This run was broken into chunks, trying to test doing stop/start on my Garmin, instead of doing distinct intervals. As usual of late, I did tried to do my running segments in faster than a 6:30 pa... read more

My aim was for 10 1 minute intervals at 6:30 or better pace. I didn't quite make that. On the positive side, my best interval was 1 minute 3 seconds at a 5:44 pace. I'm still surprised... read more

Thanks. I'm making a strong effort to get faster this year, and intervals are the way to go. I'm sure by the Fall, this will pay off in much faster 5K's.

Let's just say I'm not a fan of humidity. I think after about 2 miles, I settled in and found my groove. I tried to embrace that the humidity was giving me a great opportunity to practi... read more

Chris -- I think given how this Summer is going, I'm really going to enjoy the Fall even more than usual this year.

Thanks. I don't know if it was the running or the humidity, but it was a lot tougher than last week.

good Hot & humid morning interval run 3.98 mi
Kept the intervals easier this time. The fastest might was about a 6:30 pace. The slowest probably 8:00 pace. But this time, they were much longer. More like 45 seconds per interval. They felt... read more
Eh, sometimes it just doesn't want to happen. Good run overall. And good job not trying to force it and hurting yourself...that would not have been good.
